Abstract
The paper gives an analysis of the three characteristic periods of the American foreign policy towards Latin America: 1. period from the beginning of the 19th century until the World War I; 2. interwar period and the World War II; 3. period from 1945-1989. The author concludes that the basic determinant of the American policy was national security and consequently, according to perception of external threats, it paid attention to Latin America or it ignored it.
